Mr Darcy.

After work it usually takes me a long time to unwind.
You don't stop for a minute while you are there, then I get home and really need to chill out.
So tonight, I got home and got into my jammies, made a cup of tea and sat down.
Nothing beats sitting down after being on your feet for hours.
I put the TV on and started flicking through the channels for something to watch for half an hour.
Bridget Jones Diary 2 was on.
I don't really like this movie, at all.
But I knew that I would be able to watch it and not have to think about anything.
And then it happened.
Colin Firth came onto my screen and that was it.
I went all giddy.
He is just sooo lovely.
He is tall, dark and handsome...and just really cute.
Yes I, (along with half the women in the world...well probably more than that..)have a crush on Mr Firth.

After seeing him tonight (I am making this sound like I bumped into him and had a conversation with him - let's just go with it!!) it really made me want to watch Pride and Prejudice.
Yes, the really, really long one.
A few years ago I spent about 4 months in Australia with my family. It was the best.  
When I stayed with my lovely Aunty Trish, we spent many afternoons watching this.
On rainy days, or when we were doing housework.
That's right, all of it.
It drove my teenage boy cousins nuts!
They don't really get the whole "Mr Darcy" thing.
Ahh...I could daydream about him.

I read a book recently called Mr Darcy.
It was lovely. I wrote about it here.

Now. I am going to leave you with a couple of photos.
I was lucky enough to bump into Colin Firth when I was at the supermarket the other day.
I know, not everyday you run into a handsome star.





Alright, when I say I bumped into him, what I really meant was this.
I was with my sister and the first thing I saw as I walked into the supermarket was this carboard statue of the loved Mr Firth.
Of course, my face lit up and I had to get my picture with him.
I am sure he is taller in real life, and has a bigger head.
Or maybe I am just a giant 6ft tall girl who has a huge head.
hmmm.?
Either way, I love these photos.
Sorry about looking so crazy in the last photo.
I was a laughing and feeling a little embarassed about standing there with my arm around Col-dawg.

Just chilling with Mr Darcy.

Ok. I found this cute little book a couple of weeks ago. I was waiting to meet a friend in town and I had a bunch of time before she finished work so off I went to the bookstore. I have a funny relationship with reading. I find it really hard to find a book that really grabs my attention, but when I do I usually can't put the book down. I now know what books to look out for. I really enjoy Jodi Picoult and Nicholas Sparks. So I went straight to the area where I would find Picoult's books and Sparks' books when I came across this one.
Me and Mr Darcy by Alexander Potter. Oh my goodness, I am so enjoying it. Anyone who knows me well knows that if I could pick out my perfect day it would be watching period dramas or Anne of Green Gables, Calamity Jane or Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. The thought of all these movies makes me smile.

Anyway, back to my little book. I read the blurb and smiled as I agreed with what I was reading.. "She'd rather curl up with Pride and Prejudice and step into a time where men were honourable and strode across fields in breeches, their damp shirts clinging to their chests." Eh...yes please! I then read the first page and knew that I this was the book that I would be reading if a wee coffee shop to pass time waiting for my friend.

I have never actually read Pride and Prejudice, but today I bought a copy of the book - a beautiful copy! I am looking forward to reading it after I finish this lovely book. I guess I am going to be chilling with Mr Darcy for a while, and I don't have a problem with that. So I am off to curl up with Me and Mr Darcy! You should definitely buy this book so you can do the same.

I found this image on google so you even know what book to look out for. Go on...you know you want to read it!!
